How much is fair to pay an SEO for this work?

pay what you worth is good if you can really help a clientS website"

 

I am sure this quote can be less

Our optimization process helped companies to score top rankings among 1.3 billion search results. $7500/Month is not a factor, but most important is whether you receive good ROI or not.

In case any seo company is not capable of handling any top level seo project, they will simply outsource to a low-cost yet highly effective seo company based in offshore locations like india.

"photo software" has a competition of 56 million, whereas our optimization process has helped companies to score top rankings among 1.6 BILLION search results.

In case you have any option of outsourcing this project, I would like request you to send us following information.

1) Complete list of keywords you wish to target
2) Your targeted geo location
3) Some competitor urls.
4) Your targeted search engines ( google/yahoo)

Simply PM me anytime

 

Without meaning to sound disrespectful, as an SEO company, surely YOU can work out who the competitors are? It is not rocket science, go to Google and type in their keyword!

 

It is not reasonable, price is really really higher. Just check Powerscribe portfolio. UK company that will do same thing for only $300 per month, money back guarantee.

 

Quite a strange response

1. How can we know whether the competitors are based in UK, US or anywhere else ?

2. There could be several websites offering similar photo software, but it is most important to analyse your immediate competitors.

3. Same keyword has different difficulty levels in different search engines. It could be possible that google.ca requires more aggressive seo as compared to google.co.uk.

These are some of the reason why we had asked for reply,

Without meaning to sound disrespectful, I would like to say that this post was posted for the thread originator ( i.e company owner).

In case you have any suggestions ( for the thread starter), you are most welcome ( to reply them), but I was quite surprised by your previous post.

 

You can always calculate the search volume around the keywords. Assuming the SEO does get you into the top 5, use the keywords search volume, then use a percentage of the search share you will get by being in the top 5 SERP listings, and then use an estimated conversion rate to figure out the value of being in the top 5 for that keyword. Then ask yourself if the $7500 is justified ...

 

I believe targets can be achieved cheaply as well, any ways if they guarantee you your desired results and revenue earned in return of that ranking is higher than your expense then its worth a shot probably.

 

100 per month to start

 

Seems kinda high. How much will be spent for building links?

 

Drawing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

this sounds very high.

there are several people on this forum who i have seen do a top 5 in a few months for a one off payment of $500

for a very difficult keyword fair enough maybe it may cost more but 7500 per month???

how many people will be working full time on your account?

 

It also matters what the keyword is. if they can do top 5 for "a pigs left shoe" than they are overcharging. However if they can get top 5 for "photoshop" than thats a deal.

But the 7500 does sound high, it must be a huge return for the client.

 

If it's qualitative it's worth I think

 

Get some sort of guarantee, hope it all works out for you !

 

Thats a good price

I know some that ask for a littleless and some that cost a littlemore..
at the end its all about how they treat you as a costumer.

 

Because you have already asked the question in point 2 when you said

2) Your targeted geo location

The answer to that question tells you where to look for the competitors surely?

 

that seems like quite a lot of money. 7.5k / month for 1 year is $90k

Why 1 year ? Cant you just say 6 months and see where your site is after 6 months.

 

You have a highly competitive search term. I would expect you to see price quotes in that range or even higher for a highly competitive term. Forcing a 12 month contract does seem kind of out of the ordinary.

 

I here Google adwords are the way to go you pay Google

 

If its a contract, you should seriously consider some sort of money back guarantee.. still 7500 / mth is still alittle steep imo..
